Police detain two men on report of gunfire in Rockwood

Gresham police, responding to reports of gunfire on Southeast Stark Street in Rockwood this afternoon, detained two young men at a MAX station a few blocks away.

A Portland police officer was nearby about 4:05 p.m. when reports of the shots came in, according to Gresham police Sgt. Jeff Hansen. Hansen said the Portland officer saw two groups of young men running in opposite directions -- one north and one south.

The two young men at the MAX station fit the description of those in the group running north, Hansen said, and were detained for questioning. One was armed with a handgun.

Police found an apparent bullet hole in the Rockwood Grange building at 18303 S.E. Stark St. but no apparent victim. The East Metro Gang Enforcement Team arrived on the scene and is continuing the investigation. Police ask anyone with information to call 503-618-2719.
